Notably, responses were received for over half of the University’s 252 baccalaureateprograms, and over two-thirds of the respondents reported that they have explicitly defined andwritten learning outcomes (in contrast to the 24% who reported that they had such definedoutcomes in an earlier 1993 survey).

These control mechanisms canachieve results but may also undermine classroom cohesion, encourage an adversarialatmosphere, and be less effective than alternate approaches such as those based on leadershiptraining and research. This paper reconsiders engineering education through a leadershipperspective where teachers voluntarily relinquish control, seek influence over authority, nurturecooperation over compliance, pursue projects and activities in partnership rather than inisolation, and work to establish an environment of mutual trust. These characteristics ofleadership-based education are highly compatible with many current trends in

First, the Texas Instrument Company is the company with leading technology of thedevelopment and production of DSP processors, education and training based on TI’s DSPs willmake the students have a good chance to meet the most advanced DSP technologies whenentering their jobs.
